After my kind of long break I’m back to a blogosphere. That break was really really needed.

It’s Fall already. Where did that time go?! Geeze. It flies so fast.

It’s getting cold here in Cali and we are getting ready for those cold days 🙂

btw, while making those I learned the difference between “gloves” and “mittens”. In Polish language gloves are gloves. No matter how many fingers they have 😉

From my childhood I remember my grandmother making us those mittens all the time. So we don’t lose them she would connect them with a string going around neck under the coat and through it’s sleeves. I didn’t know back then but mittens connected by a string are called “Idiot mittens”. lol. Now it makes sense.

Pattern for “Baby Mittens”:

Being honest with you I do not understand that firs part of this pattern: 2 = 1/4″ wide (…) 9 sc = 2″; 9 sc rows = 2…. blah… blah… blah… WHAT?!

… it’s like Enigma code for me… but even without understanding that part I was able to make those mittens with no further problems. They came out just a little bit too big for her but that’s ok. They’ll last longer 😉

oh no! It gets really cold… . funny stuff that when I came here to US I thought the same so in my 2 luggage I had only one pair of warm shoes. how surprise I got (and cold) when it got really cold here. I spent my entire first pay check money to buy a warm clothes!

Ahhh 😀 Good that you are back 😀 Dizzy as I am and following thousands of blogs things are sometimes shifted, and not easy to catch up, but finally I do catch up. I had such mittens too as a little kid, connected and all, I found it very practical, and they really never got lost :o)

I just finished making these for my niece, and they came out so cute! I’ve never made a clothing item before, and these were the perfect first-time project. Thank you for sharing such a great and easy pattern!
